The root soaker is a good product especially in our drought stricken times. Used to water trees, shrubs and plants and was able to get at least a foot down... my soil is particularly bad with lots of rocks/ boulders. Would be good to start holes for fences because of the hydraulic pressure of the tool. Paint finish wore off fairly quickly and needs to be oiled with vegatable oil to keep rust off.

Definitly a good purchase... especially for the price!
